====== Synchronet Node Status ======

The current state of Synchronet [[server:terminal]] server (BBS) nodes are tracked in the shared file: ''[[dir:ctrl]]/node.dab''.

The node status can be displayed through various methods:

  - [[module:NodeList]] module (Ctrl-U key handler)
  - [[util:Node]] utility
  - [[monitor:sbbsctrl|Synchronet Control Panel]] (for Windows)

Usually each node is displayed on its own line of the form:

''Node //n//: //username// //action// //connection// (//flags//) [//sysflags//]''

Where:
  * n = node number
  * username = user's name
  * action = what the user is currently doing
  * connection = how the user is connected (bps rate if remote)
  * flags = letters representing special modes of the node
  * sysflags = modes that are sysop settable/viewable only
